Theoretically, any statically linked shell would work. To find out if it's
static or not, do a "file" on it:

xenon:/home/daleg>file /sbin/sh
/sbin/sh:       ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, statically
linked, stripped

xenon:/home/daleg>file /usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ksh:   ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically
linked, stripped

Also, you can always compile a static bash or tcsh shell by giving cc/gcc
the propper flags during make time.
